Working closely with the Aboriginal community in northern Saskatchewan has always been a part of the way Cameco has done business. Now, the company's efforts have been recognized with receipt of a gold level achievement hallmark from the Progressive Aboriginal Relations (PAR) program.

The company received the recognition in Toronto Feb. 12 at the Circle for 2015 gala hosted by the Canadian Council of Aboriginal Business (CCAB), the organization that runs the PAR program, joining with Syncrude in becoming the first two companies to earn the hallmark at that level.

Anyone who has ever questioned the value of education obviously never met Rosalie Tsannie. Tsannie, the 43-year old director of education for the Hatchet Lake First Nation, has dedicated her life to learning, and it has certainly paid off for both herself and the hundreds of students she has interacted with over her long and rewarding teaching career.

In 1999, she became the first Dene in Saskatchewan to receive a master's degree in education, but for Tsannie, schooling has never been about personal achievement.

The provincial government has thrown its support behind a plan to create a school system that provides all students with the supports they need in order to learn.

The School Plus model, which came out of the Role of the School Task Force Report released last spring, received provincial endorsement in late February.

Through implementation of the model, Saskatchewan schools will move toward integrating support services within schools, which will help service providers meet the needs of each student, while allowing teachers to concentrate on teaching.

International Women's Day is an event that has been observed around the world for over 80 years. Tracing its beginnings back to the early 20th century women's rights movements in North America and Europe, the day was originally envisioned as a time for asserting female political and social rights. Over its long history, it has evolved into a day of celebration, a day to review the undeniable progress women have made in society.
